Media Release Media Release Friday, 13 November 2015 Old vines, premium wines: Wine Australia’s Old Vines seminar impresses UK trade Home to some of the oldest vines in the world, Australia needs to keep telling the fascinating stories of its proud heritage, according to a panel of experts at Wine Australia’s Old Vines seminar in London yesterday (Thursday). Hosted by wine journalist Sarah Ahmed and featuring Wynns Head Winemaker Sue Hodder, journalist Jamie Goode and Hewitson Winemaker Dean Hewitson, the seminar explored Australia’s old vines through 15 premium wines. Australia has been growing vines since the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 and today continues to make fine wines from plantings that date as far back as 1847. The seminar was the first of its kind for Wine Australia, and featured wines including Tahbilk 1927 Vines Marsanne; Turkey Flat Shiraz, with a winemaking lineage that goes back to the 1860s, and Schild Estate Moorooroo, which is produced from 1847 vines. Guest and wine personality Oz Clarke said Australia should continue telling its old vine stories. ‘They are older than almost any other wines in the world and it’s a part of the Australian culture that you should emphasise again and again’, he said. ‘It’s thrilling that Wine Australia does these small seminars for us. It allows us to learn in a way that you simply can’t from big, general tastings.’ Sarah Ahmed said Australia has a proud story to tell about its old vine history. ‘I think all 15 wines delivered in the glass and had great stories behind them, because what we know for sure is if these old vines are still there, then they are great vineyards and that’s what it’s about and where it all starts’, she said. Wine Australia Head of Market UK and Europe Laura Jewell MW said the audience was clearly captivated by the history of Australian vines. ‘Australia has some of the oldest vines in the world – certainly the oldest Shiraz and Mouvèdre – and South Australia in particular has vines unaffected by Phylloxera that were planted in the mid-1800s’, she said. ‘This seminar explored how that affects the resulting wines and their complexity. ‘Our Old Vines seminar was an opportunity to remind ourselves of the rich winemaking history, in spite of our nation’s relative youth, and to champion the stories that set the foundations of Australia’s fine wine story. ‘We were delighted by the lively discussion and questions from guests.’ [Ends] For further information or requests to interview guests please contact: Charmaine Glase – Wine Australia Senior Communications Manager Phone: 02 9361 1263 Mobile: 0409 859 960 Email: [email protected] Twitter: @Wine_Australia #AussieWine Instagram: @WineAustralia Facebook: WineAustralia Website: www.wineaustralia.com About Wine Australia Wine Australia supports a competitive wine sector by investing in research, development and extension (RD&E), growing domestic and international markets and protecting the reputation of Australian wine.

  • Hall of Fame Initiative and I Congratulate the Names Below for Making This Imperial Grade
    100 Best Australian Wines 2011 matthewjukes.com tastingnotes Welcome to the 100 Best Australian Wines list for 2011. As always, this century of greats is the result of exhaustive tastings over the last twelve months and it represents the finest one hundred Australian wines available on the shelves in the UK this year. 2011 sees the evolution of my Hall of Fame initiative and I congratulate the names below for making this imperial grade. Firstly, these twelve magnificent producers have been the most consistent wineries in the 100 Best Australian Wines list since its inception in 2004, being included in every single list and they are to be applauded. DE BORTOLI, FOX GORDON, JACOB’S CREEK, MCWILLIAM’S, MITOLO, PENFOLDS, PETER LEHMANN, ST HALLETT, THE LANE VINEYARD, TYRRELL’S, WIRRA WIRRA, YALUMBA In addition, the concluding eleven members of the Hall of Fame have made it into all bar one of the 100s and they are: CHAPEL HILL, CULLEN, GROSSET, HARDY’S, JANSZ, KNAPPSTEIN, LEEUWIN, MAJELLA, MOSS WOOD, MOUNT HORROCKS, STONIER It is fascinating to see that boutique operators rub shoulders with giants and while large portfolios like Penfolds have notched up a massive 29 wines over the years, with De Bortoli (24), Yalumba (23) and Peter Lehmann (21) there are also a few notable names like Jim Barry (13), Tim Adams (13), Petaluma (12) and Tamar Ridge (10) who have missed out on two years of lists and so narrowly miss receiving the HoF accolade, but still have performed at a massive run rate more recently. So twenty-three estates gain Hall of Fame status (between them hauling 40/100 spots in this year’s list!) and their portfolios of wines, along with this year’s 100 Best, will be used as the vanguard of my continued push to celebrate and educate the world about fine Australian wine.

    AUTUMN FEATURE 4 PINES INDIAN SUMMER ALE 6.5 Sch / 9 Pint Sure summer is great, but an Indian Summer goes on forever. Crisp & light in bitterness with aromas of passionfruit & honeydew, light in alcohol and body, but not at the expense of hop character. To be enjoyed now and long after the sun goes down. ROCKFORD FRUGAL FARMER 9 / 45 The Frugal Farmer lives up to its name by being made from the skins of the Alicante Bouchet and fermented with Grenache and Mataro. Smooth on the palate with tingling acids and some fine tannins. 78 DEGREES GIN 10 Made in the Adelaide Hills, 78 degrees gin is vapour infused, using a grape based spirit in conjunction with 12 botanicals. Resulting in a softer feel in the mouth, with a fresh and grassy flavour, and lingering warm pepper notes. A must try for any Gin enthusiast!

  • Wine List Un Pasto Senza Vino E` Come Una Vita Senza Amore
    Wine List Un pasto senza vino e` come una vita senza amore (A meal without wine is like life without love) Welcome to Barolos Ristorante Italiano The heart of Italian food and wine culture lies in its regionality. Each region in Italy produces a unique style of food and wine, char- acterised by the area’s local ingredients and traditional methods. Each dish made in that region signifies a direct tie to a place and the people that live there. It is important to us to honor this culture of regionality in our cooking, and in our wine selections. As such, we have deliberately constructed a wine list of mostly Italian wine, from the same regions that have inspired the food on our menu. Some names on the wine list will appear familiar; some will be varieties that you may not have heard before. We encourage you to explore our wines and feel free to ask our well-informed staff to help you create an exciting, authentic Italian dining experience.
